Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1931, this nearly century-old home appears well-maintained but lacks evidence of a recent major renovation within the last 15 years. Based on the exterior and sales history, the kitchen, bathrooms, and core systems are likely dated (>20 years) and will require cosmetic updates and potential infrastructure modernization to meet current standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 11476, living area = 1824.
- Scenic Views
The property features impressive views of both the city lights and the mountains, providing a serene backdrop and significantly increasing the home's aesthetic appeal and market value.
- Expansive Lot Size
Situated on a generous 11,476 square foot lot, this property offers substantial outdoor space and privacy, which is a rare and highly desirable find in the Pasadena area.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Potential for Aging Infrastructure
Due to the home's 1931 construction date, buyers may need to budget for modernizing core systems such as plumbing, electrical, or HVAC to meet current standards.
- Hillside Topography Challenges
While the lot is large, the hillside location in the 91105 zip code often implies steep terrain, which may limit the amount of flat, usable yard space for recreation.
